Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 We just started with a new therapist (our old one left town). I am having problems adjusting, as she is very, very different that our previous therapist, but I am trying to keep an open mind. As she was leaving last time, she said she thought my child would benefit from a " myomunchee. " When I asked what its purpose was, she did answer me, but honestly, I have no idea what she was telling me. All I understood was that it had something to do with chewing. I will ask her again next time, but has anyone else used these? I think it was mentioned on the board (Janice, maybe?). Thanks! Em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Myomunchie is for jaw strenghtening as I understand it. NACD offers these for sale in their bookstore, if that helps. emonline2000 <emonline2000@...> wrote: We just started with a new therapist (our old one left town).

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I just ordered one http://www.teethperfect.com/ a speech pathologist who is also a orofacial myologist said these are good. My son has apraxia and she said it would be good oral motor strengthening and build awareness. We'll see - they are only $40.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Mark used a myomunchee for 3 months and it helps to strengthen the jaw and develop tone in the mouth. You place it in the mouth and the child chews for 15 minutes a day. It is quite effective though Mark hated every minute of it!
